XQueryBestSize()														  XQueryBestSize()

Name
  XQueryBestSize - obtain the "best" supported cursor, tile, or stipple size.

Synopsis
  Status XQueryBestSize(display, class, which_screen, width,
	    height, width_return, height_return)
	Display *display;
	int class;
	Drawable which_screen;
	unsigned int width, height;
	unsigned int *width_return, *height_return;

Arguments
  display	 Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  class 	 Specifies the class that you are interested in.  Pass one of these constants: TileShape, CursorShape, or StippleShape.

  which_screen	 Specifies a drawable ID that tells the server which screen you want the best size for.

  width 	 Specify the preferred width and height in pixels.
  height

  width_return	 Return the closest supported width and height, in pixels, available for the object on the display hardware.
  height_return
Returns
  Zero on failure, non-zero on success.

Description
  XQueryBestSize()  returns  the  "fastest" or "closest" size to the specified size.  For class of CursorShape, this is the closest size that
  can be fully displayed on the screen.  For TileShape and StippleShape, this is the closest size that can be tiled or stippled "fastest."

  For CursorShape, the drawable indicates the desired screen.  For TileShape and StippleShape, the drawable indicates the screen and possibly
  the  visual  class  and depth (server-dependent).  An InputOnly window cannot be used as the drawable for TileShape or StippleShape (else a
  BadMatch error occurs).

  XQueryBestSize() returns non-zero if the call succeeded in getting a supported size (may be the same or different from the specified size),
  or zero if the call failed.

Errors
  BadDrawable

  BadMatch  InputOnly drawable for class TileShape or StippleShape.

  BadValue

NAME
XQueryBestSize, XQueryBestTile, XQueryBestStipple - determine efficient sizes SYNTAX
Status XQueryBestSize(display, class, which_screen, width, height, width_return, height_return) Display *display; int class; Drawable which_screen; unsigned int width, height; unsigned int *width_return, *height_return; Status XQueryBestTile(display, which_screen, width, height, width_return, height_return) Display *display; Drawable which_screen; unsigned int width, height; unsigned int *width_return, *height_return; Status XQueryBestStipple(display, which_screen, width, height, width_return, height_return) Display *display; Drawable which_screen; unsigned int width, height; unsigned int *width_return, *height_return; ARGUMENTS
class Specifies the class that you are interested in. You can pass TileShape, CursorShape, or StippleShape. display Specifies the connection to the X server. width height Specify the width and height. which_screen Specifies any drawable on the screen. width_return height_return Return the width and height of the object best supported by the display hardware. DESCRIPTION
The XQueryBestSize function returns the best or closest size to the specified size. For CursorShape, this is the largest size that can be fully displayed on the screen specified by which_screen. For TileShape, this is the size that can be tiled fastest. For StippleShape, this is the size that can be stippled fastest. For CursorShape, the drawable indicates the desired screen. For TileShape and Stipple- Shape, the drawable indicates the screen and possibly the window class and depth. An InputOnly window cannot be used as the drawable for TileShape or StippleShape, or a BadMatch error results. XQueryBestSize can generate BadDrawable, BadMatch, and BadValue errors. The XQueryBestTile function returns the best or closest size, that is, the size that can be tiled fastest on the screen specified by which_screen. The drawable indicates the screen and possibly the window class and depth. If an InputOnly window is used as the drawable, a BadMatch error results. XQueryBestTile can generate BadDrawable and BadMatch errors. The XQueryBestStipple function returns the best or closest size, that is, the size that can be stippled fastest on the screen specified by which_screen. The drawable indicates the screen and possibly the window class and depth. If an InputOnly window is used as the drawable, a BadMatch error results. XQueryBestStipple can generate BadDrawable and BadMatch errors. DIAGNOSTICS
BadMatch An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable. BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap. BadMatch The values do not exist for an InputOnly window. BadValue Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request. Unless a specific range is specified for an argu- ment, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this error. SEE ALSO
